Hmmm, so...if I eventually get a 3 inch midpipe that'll just be a direct install with no donut or adapter correct? And I'd just use bolts instead of the spring bolts right?

Your aftermarket downpipe replaces the factory down and mid pipe. Unless you bought a 2-piece aftermarket downpipe, there are a few out there. You would need to get a matching catback. Just use regular bolts with a flat gasket.

You'll probably run out of threads before it became tight if you use the spring bolts without the springs.
